9 Black and White Dog Breeds That Are Perfectly Monochromatic
Dalmatians aren't the only lback and white dog breeds out there!
In the world of dogs, there's so much cuteness that even attempting to rank levels of adorability would be a futile task. And though all dogs are beautiful in their own way, there's something special about black and white dogs. Perhaps it's because they match a monochromatic aesthetic so well, or maybe it's the way their black and white coats look so simple and classic, but whatever it is that draws the eye to black and white pups, there's no denying their cuteness.
These black and white dog breeds include the classic Dalmatians, the silly Japanese Chins, and the oh-so-shaggy Old English Sheepdogs. If you're looking for a black and white dog to add to your family, these dogs range from tiny to huge, and short haired to unbelievably hippie-like locks. Whatever type of dog you think will suit your family best, these black and white dogs are a great place to start your search.
